This January 2018, several hundred people will meet in Ocean Shores, Wash. for the 9th Annual Roanoke Conference, a yearly gathering in Washington State for engaging in open dialogue on political issues, and no-barriers networking among elected officials, prominent political thinkers, college students and grassroots activists.

Attendees will come from a diverse set of backgrounds: elected officials including statewide, federal, legislative and local officeholders, campaign professionals, representatives from policy groups and think tanks, industry professionals, and grassroots activists old and young. They come to the beach in the midst of winter because the Roanoke has become their “retreat,” a congenial and social setting for renewing solidarity and christening new connections.

For seven years now, they have come in growing numbers to discuss trends in politics, hear from experts on our most important issues, hear from the young people in our party and to work together to find solutions to common problems, and forge relationships that will be crucial in winning political battles on the road ahead.
